Consortium

The H2020 marinerg-i project is coordinated by the MaREI Centre at University College of Cork Ireland (also coordinating MaRINET2). The consortium is comprised of 13 partners from 12 countries (Germany, Belgium, Denmark, Spain, France, the Netherlands, Ireland, Italy, Norway, Portugal, the United Kingdom and Sweden). MARINERG-i brings together all the European countries with significant testing capabilities in offshore renewable energy.

MARINERG-i partners met in Brest, France 7-8 June 2018 to consolidate work to date and draft the design and science plan for the distributed Research Infrastructure. Our thanks to all stakeholders who...

Vision & Mission

MARINERG-i will produce a scientific and business plan for an integrated European Research Infrastructure, designed to facilitate the future growth and development of the Offshore Renewable Energy sector. This plan will ensure that the MARINERG-i Research Infrastructure model attains the criteria necessary for being successful in an application to European Strategy Forum on Research Infrastructures (ESFRI) roadmap in 2020.

MARINERG-i is a first step in forming an independent legal entity of distributed testing infrastructures, united to create an integrated centre for delivering Offshore Renewable Energy. By consolidating expertise, investment and access to infrastructures, the MARINERG-i Research Infrastructure will foster innovation across a variety of technologies and stages of development. As the only integrated Offshore Renewable Energy platform of this scale worldwide, it will be the epicentre of this developing industry.

Our Partners

Our vision is to ensure that MARINERG-i will accelerate the research, development and deployment of offshore wind, wave, tidal and combined energy technologies and maintain Europe as a global leader in this industry.
